beep! beep!
Ma Tao climbed out of the tank hatch and had just exposed half of his body when another armored vehicle lined up behind their two tanks honked its horn twice. Behind him were several civilian modified vehicles. Obviously, it was because of them Block the road to vent your dissatisfaction.
After telling Su Lanxi to park the car, Ma Tao jumped out of the car. Xiao Jinzi's jeep followed and parked behind the 01 tank. He opened the door and got out of the car.
Ma Tao looked at him, knowing that this boy couldn't wait any longer, so he smiled and waited for him for a while.
"Who should we ask?"
Xiao Jinzi ran to Ma Tao and looked at the various crowds of people around him.
"Of course he's from this local area, then, it's him."
Ma Tao glanced at him, picked out a person who was conveniently standing in the corner, and strode over.
"You are really good at choosing..."
Xiao Jinzi looked at the man helplessly and followed Ma Tao over.
"Hey! Dude!"
Ma Tao reached out and patted him on the shoulder. He opened his mouth and the guy shuddered. He immediately froze in his attempt to let go. He glanced back at Ma Tao and Xiao Jinzi and hurriedly picked up his pants. He didn't know if it was convenient or not. Xiao Jinzi. Jin Zi laughed secretly in his heart that Brother Tao was really bad.
"You...are you okay?"
After pulling up his pants, the guy turned around and looked at Ma Tao and Ma Tao warily.
Oh go!
This man was doing uncivilized things, and he didn't look very civilized either. He had a pockmarked face and a pair of little mouse eyes. He was extremely ugly and vulgar.
"Um...I'm sorry...do you know where the iron cave is?"
Ma Tao glanced at a small stain on his trouser leg and pretended not to see it.
The pockmarked face was quite angry at first, but when he saw two people opposite him, he didn't dare to get angry. Afraid that he would be at a disadvantage, he looked Ma Tao and Ma Tao up and down after hearing Ma Tao's question, and finally confirmed that the two people in front of him should be visiting Odo for the first time. Mazi's face rolled his eyes and stretched out five fingers. , did not answer them.
"What do you mean? Fifth Avenue? Or Building Five?"
Xiao Jinzi looked at the five fingers he stretched out and didn't understand at all, and asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"whispering sound!"
The pockmarked man laughed when he heard Xiao Jinzi's words, and looked at Ma Tao and the two of them saying "5 G" in a slow voice.
"What the hell? I need money if I ask!"
Xiao Jinzi stared at this pockmarked face and said angrily.
"It's so new. You asked me about the place and I didn't open my mouth. It's a waste of energy. If you don't pay me, who will tell you for free?"
The pock-marked person glanced at Xiao Jinzi behind Ma Tao from the corner of his eye and twisted his face.
"I say you two, give me the money quickly. I have something else to do. I'll give you 10 G in a moment."
"I'll go! You even raised the price by sitting on the ground!"
When Xiao Jinzi heard this, he rolled up his sleeves and started to fight with him. Fortunately, he was stopped by Ma Tao.
"10G, not a single cent less"
The pair of little mouse eyes on the pockmarked face stared, and the mouth really turned into 10G.
"Damn! I gave you face"
When Xiao Jinzi saw his face, he was furious. This was blackmail. How could he bear it?
"Yes, yes, yes, 10G is 10G, we will give you the money!"
Ma Tao was furious when he saw Xiao Jinzi and quickly reached out to pay. 10G was really nothing to Ma Tao now.
"no!"
Xiao Jinzi stretched out his hand to stop Ma Tao from taking out the money and glared at his pockmarked face, "Isn't it just asking for directions? It's the same as asking anyone else! You can't encourage this person's temper."
"random"
Mazi curled his lips and said nonchalantly.
Xiao Jinzi looked around and happened to spot a middle-aged woman walking by, and quickly greeted her with a smile.
"Hello, auntie, let me ask for directions..."
"20G"
Before Xiao Jinzi finished speaking, the middle-aged woman looked at Xiao Jinzi expressionlessly, opened her mouth and said 20G, doubled it again, and Xiao Jinzi Earl went to stop a middle-aged uncle again.
"Uncle, I can..."
"30"
"..."
Is this really cooperating with him? Xiao Jinzi was completely speechless. Ma Tao did not expect this result. Is this the custom of this place?
"You just don't believe what I said."
He looked at Ma Tao and Ma Zi with a pockmarked face and said, "15G, if you don't give it to me, I'll leave."
Ma Tao quickly took out 5G again and handed the 15G in his hand to the pockmarked hand and said, "We admit defeat. Now you can tell us where the iron hole is."
"That's right..."
The pock-marked man looked at the 15G in his hand with a victorious look, and pointed at a building dozens of meters behind the two of them.
"The garage over there has been converted into a tank service center. As for the iron cave, of course it is hidden under the garage."
Ma Tao and Xiao Jinzi looked at the large garage they had walked through several times before and were stunned.
No wonder so many chariots were going in and out of it. Ma Tao thought that place was just a big garage. He never thought that the iron cave was not a hole. Who would have thought that the iron cave that everyone knows is actually a hole? garage?
"Now it seems that the 15G is not worth spending..."
The pock-marked man had already received 15G and left happily. Ma Tao glanced at Xiao Jinzi, who was still stunned beside him.
"Let's go, get in the car"
Ma Tao touched him with his hand, and Xiao Jinzi woke up as if from a dream.
When I got closer, I realized that the area of this garage was quite large, almost more than 2,000 square meters. The tanks entering and exiting began to line up outside. At this time, motorcycles had the advantage It shows up, and it can flexibly shuttle among various vehicle models with ease.
Ma Tao and his tanks and jeeps followed the convoy little by little and finally arrived at the entrance of the large garage. Parked at the door were two tanks and chariots similar to Ma Tao's. The black muzzles were aimed at everyone coming and going.
Unexpectedly, there is a fee to enter. Each chariot is 30G, and motorcycles are completely free. This requirement was set by the boss who controls Odo District 1. He is a man named Erye. Everyone who enters and exits the iron cave must abide by him. Follow the rules, otherwise you will have to face the wrath of these guards.
After listening to the guards and thugs at the garage door, Ma Tao directly gave him 60G.
"This second master still has some conscience and doesn't charge even a penny from those motorcycle hunters."
After being released, Ma Tao started the chariot and entered the garage.
"Why do you say that?"
Su Lanxi asked curiously.
"Those motorcycle hunters earn a lot of money. Many riders can't even withstand a shell from the monster. This is a profession with the highest mortality rate. It is definitely a conscience not to charge them an entrance fee. I guess this second master himself I'm afraid he is also a motorcycle hunter who has become a monk, or he has some special feelings for motorcycle hunters."
Ma Tao explained.
"Maybe"
Su Lanxi replied.
"Hi! Brother! Are you here to modify the chariot?"
A person suddenly appeared in front of the 01 tank. The person stretched out his hand and blocked the moving tank. Ma Tao was frightened and stopped suddenly. The 02 jeep behind him followed the tank within two or three meters. When they saw this situation, they suddenly stopped. The mechanical technician's reaction control ability showed up. The jeep and the tank came to a stop within a hair's breadth. As soon as they stopped, the other vehicles behind them were in chaos. The trumpet kept blaring all the time, and for a while people fell on their backs.
Although the chariots in this world are fine even if they are hit hard, and the chariots that can even withstand cannonballs still care about the collision, people's subconscious behavior is to avoid and avoid collisions. To be able to stop in such a short distance, it has to be It's all technical, but this thing makes people angry. How can anyone stop a car like this, and Ma Tao is no exception.
"You're looking for death! Do you know I almost crushed you to death?"
Ma Tao got out of the driver's seat, opened the hatch and began to curse.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just wanted to ask if you need an iron hole to pass through?"
This man was wearing tattered clothes, full of motor oil, and very dirty. One look showed that he had stayed in this iron cave for a long time. His face was covered in oil stains and stains, but his face was black. His age and appearance were hard to tell. Ma Tao didn't say anything when he was scolded, and quickly apologized.
"What's going on, Brother Tao!"
Xiao Jinzi opened the door of the jeep and leaned out halfway, and saw Ma Tao roaring there, not knowing what was going on.
"It's okay! A person who earns money to lead the way!"
Ma Tao glanced at this man and knew that he was also doing it for a living. It was fine anyway, so he didn't want to worry about it. After answering Xiao Jinzi, he planned to get back into the chariot.
"You old bastard, you still dare to block the chariot! How brave do you have!"
Before Ma Tao could enter the chariot, several guards rushed over to the man who had buried Batai. The first guard came up and knocked him to the ground with the butt of his gun, and the rest The guards beat him together again, punching and kicking him. After just a few blows, blood was seen on the man's forehead, but the guards had no intention of stopping and continued to beat him.
"Stop it! Stop fighting! I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore, please spare me..."
This dirty man's face was covered with blood. He curled up on the ground and protected his head with his hands, begging for mercy. However, the guards seemed to have not beaten them enough. They were still attacking with rifle butts, fists and feet. The dirty men and women around him were The Xixi colleagues all lowered their heads, and no one dared to step forward to stop him.
"Stop fighting, I was wrong, please...my child is sick and needs money, I...I beg...please..."
The dirty man begged for mercy and almost lost the strength to speak, but the beatings on his body showed no sign of stopping. Fists and feet rained down on his body like raindrops. The dizziness and pain were already overwhelming. He was confused.
"stop!!"
This sentence was shouted by Ma Tao.
Is there such a grudge? A beating like this will kill someone. Even if the person makes a mistake, it would be enough to teach him a lesson. It won't be like this.
If Ma Tao was angry before because this guy blocked his chariot regardless of his life, when he heard that his child was sick, all the original anger disappeared.
This is a father, a poor father who is trying to save his child in his only way. If there is any other way, he will never use his body to intercept the moving chariot in order to save his life. , from this point of view, this person has no fault. If there is, it can only be because the world is unfair and does not allow them to live in a peaceful age.
Ma Tao's loud shout had an effect, and the guards stopped beating him and looked at Ma Tao on the chariot.
"Hey, we met a good man. This warrior, I advise you to leave it alone. His behavior of intercepting your chariot just now has violated the rules here. If we don't discipline him and teach him a lesson, he will be here in the future. If everyone else is blocking the car like this, wouldn't it be that the iron hole is in chaos? We can also help you teach this reckless thing a lesson to save him from making this bad habit next time. What's wrong with that?"
A tall and thin man who should be the security leader looked down at the man hunched over at his feet, raised his feet and kicked him again.
"No...not anymore...anymore..."
"Shut up!"
Before the dirty man who was knocked to the ground finished speaking, the tall and thin guard kicked him again, and a bloody front tooth flew out.
"Hello……"
Ma Tao raised his hand and was too late to stop him, so he could only watch it all happen and frown slightly.
"That man is so pitiful, let's save him."
Su Lanxi, who was in the chariot, also witnessed everything in front of him. He looked pitifully at Ma Tao lying on the chariot, and his sympathy began to overflow.
Ma Tao reached out to Su Lanxi in the car to show that he understood.
"Please, brothers, please show mercy. This man has a family emergency and was confused for a moment. He should not be punished until death."
Ma Tao jumped off the chariot, looked at the man on the ground and said.
"You are such a bad guy, what? You want to save him?"
The tall and thin guard looked at Ma Tao who was walking beside him and asked with a smile.
"Can I hire him to guide us now?"
Ma Tao said
"Of course, you can take him away now, but..."
The tall and thin man touched his chin mid-sentence, looked at Ma Tao with his eyes closed, showed a sly smile, and then said, "He needs to pay a 100G fine, and you also need to pay a 100G deposit to guarantee this old guy." Won’t make the same mistake again”
"I knew it wasn't that simple, these vampires"
"200G!"
"poor guy"
"Yes, no one will use 200G to save people like us."
The crowd watching the excitement was in an uproar, and they kept whispering to each other. Some were bragging, some were pitiful, and some were sighing. The capable bounty hunters watched the fun with a little fun, and some even took out their cigarettes and lit them to watch. , commenting on what will happen in the end, ordinary people without strength hid far behind, mourning for that person's fate, and at the same time warned themselves not to make the same mistake.
"Of course, you can also choose to use other methods to repay the debt and leave them temporarily. You only need 100G. You know the rules."
The tall and thin man knelt down, pulled the man's hair with his hands, raised his head, and said with a sneer.
"Never...can...may...be..."
The man's face was covered in blood, and the corners of his eyes were a little cracked. It was difficult for him to even open his eyes now, but he still stared at the tall and thin man stubbornly and said rejection.
"Bah! You old stubborn, your son is almost dying and you are still so stubborn. When you die, you will see how I will manipulate your daughter. When I have had enough fun, I will sell her!"
The tall and thin man whispered sinisterly into his ear, then pressed the man's head heavily to the ground with his hands, spit on his head, then stood up and looked at the man on the chariot again. Ma Tao.
"No...please..."
Hearing the tall and thin man mention his daughter, the dirty man's eyes flashed with panic, and he reached out to pull the tall and thin man's trouser legs to plead.
swell
Without looking at him, the tall and lanky man kicked his plea directly back into his stomach with another kick.
"This warrior, do you still hire this person? 200G, deliver it now?"
Thinking that no one would pay a high price of 200G to hire a useless person, the tall and thin man looked at Ma Tao with a smile and stretched out two fingers to ask.
The other guards didn't care about this at all, as long as the old guy at his feet didn't escape and still had a breath, it was obvious that they had reached some kind of tacit understanding by doing such things frequently.
Ma Tao saw the lanky man secretly talking to the man on the ground, but he didn't know what they said. However, the lanky man's kick in the end clearly meant that their talk had broken down, which meant that there must be something going on between them. I don’t know.
Avenging a private vendetta? There was only one explanation. Ma Tao understood what was being said in an instant.
"Do you have any other requests?"
Ma Tao thought for a while and asked.
When it comes to using 200G to save a useless person, Ma Tao is also very confused. He is not short of the 200G, but he is really not a bad person. He can still distinguish the first thing when weighing the pros and cons. The inequality that happens in this world every day There are so many people that I can't save at all. Besides, even if I save him this time, what about the next time? Who can save him?
"Other requirements?"
The tall and thin guard scratched his head and thought for a moment, then kicked the man on the ground. Seeing that he didn't respond, he just dragged the man's upper body up again like dragging a dog to death. ask.
"It seems that this kind warrior really wants to save your life, then... we will see you next time, but I just want to ask you, are you willing to go with them?"
The tall and thin guard stared at him fiercely, and then said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "You have already annoyed me. This matter will never end. Even if you leave with them, I can still find a way to deal with it." Damn you, as long as you old guy is still alive, I will get angry just thinking about it, let’s keep playing.”
"This... warrior, I'm sorry, I... I... I won't go with you..."
The man raised his face full of blood and tears, hesitated for a moment, then looked at Ma Tao's grateful smile, then closed his eyes as if resigned, unable to say anything anymore.
